A little background about Thankful Friday. I started this thread on the-place-that-shall-not-be-named because I was having a crappy week and needed to be reminded of all the good stuff happening around me. So this thread is for all kinds of posts - from vents and rants to celebrations and humble brags. So... let's do this!
Oh, and there's usually a theme. Feel free to suggest one if you have an idea 
Since schools are closing for summer, I figured we need a school-type theme.
Yay! It's Friday!
Tell us what you're thankful for this week.
Or maybe you're happy this week is over and need to vent a little.
Do you have any fun plans this weekend?
Or maybe you have no plan... which is sometimes the best type of plan.
And if you're not sure what you're thankful for, just post some randoms. We're here to listen.
Annnnnnd go!

Hey oldbaylover1024 ! Love this week's theme! I'm thankful for my family's health - mainly my mom's. She's pushing 70 and still movin' and shakin'! Love that she's super active and loves being so. She's on THREE different bowling leagues and hits the gym more than I ever did during my gym rat days! (yay to the silver sneaker program! - free gym privileges for seniors at participating gyms. She rotates between Planet Fitness & Gold's!) We lost my dad way too soon so we're glad that she has taken the initiative to stay healthy. |

agpjt413 - I didn't know about the Silver Sneakers Program! That's awesome. I go to Plant Fitness and really like it. I'm thankful for coffee. And the new coffee ice cubes at Star.bucks. Yum! I'm thankful for you guys, too. Maybe even more than coffee. Maybe  Thankful my kids and husband are healthy. Also thankful for donuts. It's National Donut Day BTW! Get your free donut! And finally, that it's Friday and I have the weekend with our little family before C starts DC on Monday. It's bittersweet. I'm glad we found a provider that's in-home and loves babies. But it's always sad to leave LO with someone else the whole day. FX he's good for her. He's been a fussy guy lately. Well, I should say he's either super happy or flat out fussy. May God be with you, DC Lady!

What a great theme. I'm thankful for... 1) Sunshine. We've had way too many gloomy days of late. 2) New clothes in smaller sizes that make me feel pretty. 3) A babysitter that I love, who loves my kids so dearly AND DOES MY LAUNDRY AND DISHES. (I'm really not sure which part I love the most.) 4) Online shopping. 5) The fact that it's Friday. With it being a short week, it sure did feel CRAZY long. |

I'm a little late but I'm join in! I'm very grateful to not be in the place I was in this time last year. I was a few months out from my loss, starting my first medicated cycle and feeling hopeless. I was very angry and very sad. I'm so happy to be here with my sweet boys.

@heartbot, I'm sorry for your loss. I read your in memoriam post, and it sounds like she was an amazing woman.
